PHYSICAL -SECURITY CHAL LENGES
Physical security is defined as that part of security concerned with physical
measures designed to safeguard personnel; to prevent unauthorized access
to equipment, installations, material, and documents; and to safeguard
against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft. As such, all military
operations face new and complex physical-security challenges across the full
spectrum of operations. Challenges relative to physical security include the
control of populations, information dominance, multinational and interagency
connectivity, antiterrorism, and the use of physical-security assets as a
versatile force multiplier.
